Each year, for the past 2-3 years, a sweet lady, Leann Davidson, who we helped with kitties, makes us an Easter basket to raffle off. We always display the basket in Plain City Druggist and we get between $100-150 each year with raffle ticket purchases. Leann made us a super basket again this year. She buys all the items for the basket, the basket itself, and then packages it to look pretty and professional. Then she gives it to us and we keep all the money from the raffle.
This year, we’d like to knock Leann’s socks off when we tell her the total we made with the raffle. If you live in Plain City or close by, please stop in Plain City Druggist (across from Der Dutchman Restaurant) Monday to Friday from 9-6 (we close from 1:15-2:15 for lunch) and Saturday from 9-noon to purchase raffle tickets for the basket. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. If you don’t live close enough or can’t make a quick trip out our way, you can also purchase raffle tickets by mailing a donation to us at P. O. Box 126, Plain City, Ohio, 43064. Please indicate with the donation that you would like to purchase Easter basket raffle tickets and I will personally sign you up for the raffle. You can also purchase raffle tickets by donating through PayPal on our web site. Anyone who makes a donation to B and O through PayPal from now until April 1 will automatically be entered in the Easter Basket Raffle.
We will also have the Easter basket and raffle tickets with us next Saturday, March 27, at the PetSmart on Sawmill Road for our monthly adoption event in the store from 12-2. You can stop by and enter the raffle and also meet several of our adoptable kitties.
We are going to use all of the proceeds raised from the Easter Basket Raffle to help pay for Naomi’s dental surgeries. Naomi, just to update everyone, is doing well and has healed from having her teeth pulled. She is supposed to see Dr. Kline this week to determine if she can have the hole in the roof of her mouth fixed. As soon as the second surgery is finished and Naomi has been given a clean bill of health, this sweet girl will be ready to find her forever home. So if you are looking for a great cat who will never ever need her teeth cleaned, Naomi is the girl for you!
Please purchase raffle tickets to win a really cool Easter basket and to help Naomi. We will draw the winner on Good Friday, April 2, to make sure the winner gets the basket in time for Easter. If you live in the Columbus area and you win, we will make arrangements to deliver the basket to you or meet you part way. If you live a bit further out, we’ll also figure out how to meet to get the basket to you if you win.
Thanks again to Leann for helping our kitties.
